Question:

what are surgical steel earrings?

my friend needs sensitive ears....she wants to borrow mine but it says surgical steel,what does that mean?

Answer:

It means they are hypoallergenic.
Sergical steel means they are earings for sensitive ears. If she borrows them make sure you sanitize them before she wears them.
Surgical Earrings
Surgical steel is a steel alloy that is free from any metals that are known allergens, such as nickel. It is widely used for surgical instruments and appliances. If you do lend your earrings, they should be sterilized before she wears them, and sterilized again when you get them back.
